Eric Bristow RIP- heart attack at the premier league darts tonight - gutted
Too true, well known fact he suffered with dartitis , but don't think many realise how early in his career he suffered with it , still won titles and reached finals while suffering , would have been nearer 10 times world champ without it . Met him on a darts event on p +o ferries and was just a genuine bloke , happy to talk and have a pint with anyone - one of my heroes.Just discussing his passing. Those earning lots of money through the game, much like golfers with Tiger Woods have much to thank him for.
I worked on p and o ferries quite a few celebrities went across, best one I met was Elsie tanner, lovely womanToo true, well known fact he suffered with dartitis , but don't think many realise how early in his career he suffered with it , still won titles and reached finals while suffering , would have been nearer 10 times world champ without it .

Re Eric bristle, just been reading an article on BBC news and sorry he was a ****, having a go at young boys who were sexually abused.
Lost his job at sky because of it, oh yes what a lovely guy.
No but when Mrs Tash said ‘Eric Bristow’s died at 60’ my immediate reply was ‘...died at treble top if you don’t mind’No ones said Eric Bristow checked out yet. Get in.
Our kid played against him in Jar in Hand back in the day.
Thought he was older than that though.
RIP Eric.

...she’s really good at rolling her eyes
Ray Wilkins, what a man, the world needs more like him, not less.If you haven’t heard this phone call in to Talksport from and ex soldier who’d been homeless about meeting Ray Wilkins it’s well worth a listen. Only a couple of minutes, but be careful...it made me get something in my eye!
